Cloudflare Public DNS

OpenDNS, Google and now Cloudflare? Are they going to offer the public a new DNS option? It appears so, Cloudflare has registered the domain name cloudflare-dns.com (Created on 2018-03-27), and the easy-to-remember IP address assigned to it 1.1.1.1 (one.cloudflare-dns.com) is answering DNS queries. 1.0.0.1 is also available to them. It will be interesting to see how this develops.

Internet providers are notorious for providing slow and unreliable DNS servers for domain name resolution. This has caused many to look for alternatives and created the need for public DNS providers. Public DNS services like OpenDNS and Google Public DNS provide the Internet community with reliable DNS resolution. Most public DNS providers utilize anycast routing to keep latency to an absolute minimum and may actually accelerate your browsing experience.
